If you have crying eyes
Bring them along
Or if you don't feel at ease
Maybe I know your song
I don't mind if it takes us a little longer
I'm willing to stay here and love you 'til dawn
It'll be all right
"Play me the one that you made up for me"
It might be your night
"You say it's lost, but I don't believe it"
It might be mine
So if you have doubts and fears
Why stay alone
You know, I felt that way for years
Now the worst of it's gone
I don't care if it takes us a few hours
If you've got the heart for it, I'll find the power
To make it all right
"Sing me the sad one you used to know"
It might be your night
"It's either forgotten or you've changed it so"
It might be yours and it might be mine
I don't want nobody crying for me
And I don't need your sympathy
Oh, the night is a river
Where the lonely are drowned
And if you still love me
I'll be around
I can see by the look on your face that you're hurt
I guess you wouldn't be here if you weren't
It's all right cause
It might be your night
And it might be mine might be mine (over & over and fade)
